A) Two parallel lines, intersecting a 3rd line (a traversal), indicates that two same-sided, internal angles MUST be SUPPLEMENTARY (sum, or add up to 180°).
b) Since <1 and <2 are supplementary, they add up to 180°. Therefore, <1 + <2 = 180:
(20x+5) + (24x-1) = 180
44x + 4 = 180
44x + 4 -4 = 180-4
44x = 176
44x/44 = 176/44
x = 4

Answer:
24 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the perimeter formula, P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width.
Plug in the values, and solve:
P = 2l + 2w
P = 2(7) + 2(5)
P = 14 + 10
P = 24
So, the perimeter of the canvas is 24 feet
